At the end of eliminations, our team replaced our kicker (which wasn't too great) with a bar on the outboard side / bottom to allow another team to hang from us (the number 1 seed could suspend and we sized it for their hooks if we got picked by them) but we never got the chance. We got the bugs out and hung steady our last 2 qualifying matches and our first elimination match (grabbing the poles for stability and lifting with a ratcheting boat winch and 2 CIMS in a toughbox - 1 HP of lifting capacity!), but driving issues (mechanical, not human) caused us to take a long time to get lined up on the tower before lifting.
Here's some video of us lifting
